An impressive and majestic structure, Khoo Konhsi is a former clan house that presents one of the most distinctive signs of Chinese Clan associations in Malaysia. This structure serves as a reminder of the very first period when the Chinese came to Malaysia. When visiting the Khoo Kongsi, visitors might almost forget that they are in Malaysia as the area is so strongly influenced by China.

Right from the outside visitors will be presented with an impressive façade that is ornately decorated with distinctive Chinese architecture. The temple presents visitors with the chance to glimpse various statues, beautiful pieces of architecture and ornaments. Being a place of worship, the centre piece of this site is the main prayer hall located in the main temple. It is in this room that visitors will find most of the artefacts and other points of interest. There are so many items of interest on offer here from the floor all the way to the ceiling, ensuring visitors will be dazzled.

The main temple building is divided in to three sections with small porch that confronts visitors before they reach the temple proper while on the left side of the temple is another smaller structure that was used to serve meals for those gathered for special events and the ground floor of the temple is now a museum.

Visit this destination and discover the strong Chinese heritage that is showcased here through architecture and other items that stands as a stark contrast from the rest of Malaysia. It is this combination of items housed inside and the structure of the temple itself that have made Khoo Kongsi one of the most popular tourist attractions in Penang. Guests of Golden Sands Resort will easily be able to access this destination when residing at the hotel.
